I 'love' this biased reporting on the bbc's part, why should the government take into consideration the feelings of those who had relatives who became terrorists.
My view is if anything they should be condemning the act of their relative(s) and others who have joined ISIS, if not they should be deported.[/QUOTE]
holy fuck that's their son you're talking about, are you incapable of seeing things from their perspective and realising why they MIGHT just be feeling a little sad?
"condemn your son or be deported!" how fucked in the head are you lmao
Fucking hell guys, you sound like you want every Briton rounded up and screamed at "WILL YOU BE UPSET IF A TERRORIST DIES" and if they say no they get fucking shot or something. Jeez, I wonder why some people are concerned about the media's reporting on the Islamic State and British Jihadis :rolleyes:

If you watched the interview they aren't accusing the government of doing anything "wrong" either - he even says in the interview that he thinks he was brainwashed. Also calling the BBC biased is a joke, especially in this case - they're merely reporting on what other people are feeling. Arrows can't cope with anything that doesn't fit his narrative basically.
Even if somebodies son is mass murderer or shooter, the parents will still feel upset about it because it still took quite an effort to raise their kid and then realizing you missed of overlooked something.
imagine if the parents didn't raise him as a Muslim and just raised him rationally, he would've seen it all as the BS it is and not left to get killed
Despite the fact that he joined on his own, I can't help but be sympathetic to those who are basically used by their religion to fall for this shit and sign up.
I mean look at that kid. What a waste.
The government has"more" questions to answer? How about questioning the family for their sons actions? Good riddance to more filth. Sorry he turned out that way, but that's generally what happens when you fight for murderous scum.
[QUOTE=Aldawolf;48642118]Show a little empathy, this was someone they loved and cared for and are probably just as upset he joined ISIS as many other people are.[/QUOTE]That is [i]rarely[/i] how this plays out, mostly the family is upset that their son/brother/cousin/whatever got blown the fuck up and blames everyone else for it.
Really if my brother joined ISIS right now I'd rightfully call him an idiot and never speak to him again, I wouldn't blame anyone but him if he got killed.
At the end of the day there's a line between being brainwashed and being a fucking moron.
[QUOTE=Arrows;48642437]I do wonder if your the kind of far left person, who when held at gun point by a terrorist would demand everyone show him some empathy by dying.[/QUOTE]
Nah people like this would probably react like everyone else [I]normally[/I] would. It's pretty easy to take the moral high-ground when you're sitting comfortably behind your computer screen.
The family reaction is the same as when someone is arrested for murder and his parents say they don't believe it because THEIR son is a good boy.
Does anyone really expect the family to step forward to say "A drone strike was too good for him if you ask me"?

Biased reporting? Journalism is supposed to be about giving as many sides to the story as possible, not represent some official government/accepted opinion or whatever shit you're implying.

No, you see, the news should only report things that align with MY preconceived notions of the world!
devastated at a dead family member? sure ok
shocked, surprised, curious about why? uhhh yea no
government doesn't need to answer any questions to the family of a terrorist
screw that guy he was a dick and deserved to die for signing up with ISIS, hope the birds get a good feast out of whats left of his flesh after that drone attack turned him into meat jelly.

My mom probably would if I joined terrorists.

Rather, they don't have to answer because it's pretty fucking obvious why he got killed.
